I'm a mother of 5 married children, I have 10 darling grand children with fun and crazy personalities. They help to keep me young. I love the outdoors and love to garden. Just something about getting my hands into that dirt that I can't explain. Mother Nature has a hold on me! Also love decorating my home and thrifting. I'm crazy for anything rusty, old, or chippy! I enjoy quilting, but have slowed down a lot. Love life and people. They help to fill my cup!

What a beautiful collection of green depression glass and Jadite. I have a small collection as well. I should do a post about it some day soon! I seldom see it around the way I used to in the 90's. Too many of us collectors, I guess.

You know I was like a bee to honey when I saw green on your leading photo, Jann! I love all of your green - whether it's Depression glass, jadeite or kitchen utensils. Truly a favorite of mine, and you've got a great collection going!Rita

Love this post. There's nothing quite like vintage green! I've been lucky with finding green depression glass, but I've never been able to score jadeite; all of my jadeite pieces are reproductions. And don't forget about that awesome green lantern that you have with the red glass! Thanks for sharing your greens :). --Fran

What a great little collection of vintage green! I have just a couple of pieces that my hubby inherited from family and really love using them! Heading on vacay next week, hoping to pick up a few special pieces of 'something'!! Blessings, Cindy

Hi Jann,You do have luck of the Irish with all of these pretty pieces! I am going to copy your idea for St. Patrick's Day and display some of my depression glass and my one and only jadite.Warm Hugs,Jemma

I too appreciate many of these greens and while I don't have any of what [in your first pics] looks like Vaseline Glass I am always drawn to it. And the "Alice" pattern of the c/s is something I must have a few...I have maybe a 4 place setting group I can't really set a table yet with the 'Alice' .

I am a nut about pretty vintage dishes but it really helps if one can NOT be a collector snob..meaning that sometimes I have a mix of the old and slightly valued mixed in with the great modern day reproductions that are around now. The value makes no difference to me I just enjoy them...as You do I am sure!!We have fun with this don't we!!!

I am GREEN with envy now! I just love all your greens.....a wonderful collection and what makes it so nice is all the different places the pieces came from. I have to focus on the green this Spring when I am out thrifting. Can't say that I see a lot of it around here.

Love the green. I have several pieces. The 2 dessert cups are depression glass, 1930s, Called Patrician after a Roman Nobleman. The common name is spoke because there is a spoke like from a wheel in the center of the plates and so on. I have a few green pieces but all of the set in amber except for the expensive juice glasses.

Oh J'ann me to, a big fan of Greens. I use to decorate around the main colour being green and I too had my fair share of Jadite glass ware and then sold it all off in my shop years ago. Your collection is amazing and beautiful at the same time. Loving that column you painted to stand out rather then to blend in with the other white walls, this was a very creative direction to move in its a great colour and look.

Well my dear, I have been wanting to add some colour into my home again and all that you have inspired pulls at me in this colour direction.

Thank you for all the green that could possibly inspire anyone in a green direction.A beautiful weekend heading your direction.

So refreshing to see the way you celebrate St. Patrick's Day! If I see one more little oreo cookie decorated like a leprechaun.....!!!But seriously, I have some green Depression glassware that belonged to my MIL. So simple, yet so lovely. I saw a Martha Stewart magazine article that said vaseline glassware will glow in the dark with a black light. You can bring your piece out for Halloween too!
